My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tiberius Riker, Ty for short. He is 4 years old and 55 lbs and looking for his forever family.

Ty was originally with our rescue as a puppy and was adopted. Sometime later his adopter moved across the country with Ty (he went by a different name then) and sadly ended up with a new person in the home who was abusive and cruel to Ty for years. Thankfully his adopter reached out to return him to us and he has been in an incredible foster home, getting the time, patience, and love he needed to heal and recover. He's come leaps and bounds and is ready for the next big step in his journey.

Ty is a goofy, silly, sweet, and chill guy. He LOVES going on his walk in the morning. Ty actually needs a morning walk to relieve himself. He will go in the backyard but isn’t very keen on it. He walks beautifully on a leash/harness. As a side note, a harness is required for Ty. Part of his abuse was being yanked and pulled by his neck using a lead. He’s fully crate trained and house trained.

Ty isn’t the kind of dog who will play with toys or chase other dogs. He much prefers to lay next to you on the couch and watch Law and Order and Chopped. He really likes Chopped! If the couch is full, he’ll just plop down under your feet. He wants to be close to his person. He barks when he gets excited for his walk or
when he wants a snack (he loves carrots and apples the best). Otherwise, he’s super quiet. He loves getting belly rubs. He tolerates being brushed. He hates having his toenails trimmed.

Ty came to us experiencing TERRIBLE allergies (with awful symptoms) and it took a bit to determine he has a chicken and fish allergy. He eats a specialty food now (Zignature Kangaroo) and gets Cytopoint allergy shots and is now itch and symptom free!

The ideal person/family for Ty would be someone who works from home or is home often during the day. He was kept in a crate for 10-12 hours per day in his previous life and we don’t want him to go back to that way of living. His adopter needs to be able to financially afford his specialty food and his allergy shots. Those are non-negotiable. His adopter needs to commit to taking Ty on a walk every morning. Ideally, he would go to a home with another dog to keep him company but he would be just fine as an only dog. Because of Ty’s abuse, he can’t go to a home with small children. If there are children in the home, he would need children over the age of 10, who can respect his boundaries.

Tiberius deserves the absolute best home where he can be spoiled, loved and treated with gentleness and kindness. For the rest of his life.

If you feel that you can give Ty the home life he deserves, you can send inquiries to our director of adoptions at muttmisfitsadoptions@gmail.com or apply to meet / adopt at www.muttmisfits.org/adoption-application
